Wait, you mean automatically relegated?

And how do you get to the Q&A session? I've had a look and I've no idea what to do. If you have a chance though, ask about parttime bowlers, especially in FC

Yeah, Allan basically said that there's no possibility of playoffs in FC. You have to download the mIRC thing to get to the Q+A (then got to the NetGamers server and #bt-events channel). I've asked about how many bowlers we'll be allowed to use, will let you know if he answers.

 

[Robertinho]

Adam, can you please get on MSN?

Fairly comfortable win against Roseboy today. I lost a couple of early wickets, I shifted the batting order a bit, but then my good players came in and took me to 307-5.

I had Rhodes and Umar opening the bowling to see how they did, Rhodes got a wicket first ball but they weren't that great overall. Majid, Ferdinand and Rahimuddin then cleaned things up to bowl them out for 216.

[AussieDominance]

so anything else out of the Q & A

 

[Jamee999]

The commentary submission is open! What a day!

 

[andyc]

A log of the Q&A tonight. Some interesting stuff.

Just a quick summary of what I've read so far: Fixtures will be up soon (in the next day or so), as will YPs (Tuesday) and players' ages. There will be a 6th bowling option in FC, but not in OD.

Okay, link still not working. Just go invision free .com for the blacked out part- http://z13.*****************/JumpersForWickets/index.php?showtopic=1001&hl=

Or just go to the Aussie sleding boards, the link is there

 

[Adamc]

Haha, invisionfree is blocked on CW.

 

[Robertinho]

James è proprio il Duce.

Nothing too interesting in the Q&A. Some things I would hate to see introduced are training times depending on PFL & the possibility of more than 10 nets.

<Earl_CG> MOD-Asterix: Looking to rename my ground, any suggestions?
<BT-allanfc> Cheezandbiskitz Arena? - Its been a long time since I read my Asterix!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I'm ****ed now that PFL hits aren't changing.

 

[Robertinho]

What are Hodge's stats?

 

[superkingdave]

<GM-Drew> over to volrathy, u know how we all play organiseds cups like the JFW cup can we have a system where managers of these cups can add the teams to the cup and it automatically creates the draw and assigns the games to the teams without the need to challenge for a friendly every week ?
<BT-allanfc> Yes - this is a feature that I hope to introduce for Members. Not quite sure how it will work just yet, but will let you know

good stuff

 

[Robertinho]

I know But what if we're not all members? I'm not going to have membership anytime in the next 10 years unless I win it.

 

[Jamee999]

I don't want membership! There's nothing on battrick i'd like less than to see the player pictures.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Currently on two stamina nets and due for a stamina pop this week.

 

[Robertinho]

I think you should change one of those stamina nets to a bowling net, I think 2 is a bit of a waste and you may as well use that other net to get him to quality.

Bot time in the first round of the cup so should get through on TIE.

Struggled in my friendly earlier, reached 376/2 but couldn't finish off the other team even though they are much worse than I am. Bowled them out for 269 in the end.

 

[Jamee999]

Not a bot, but a newbie, which is as good
